Abstract: A device and method for emitting output light of a desired color utilizes green-emitting Thiogallate phosphor material and red-emitting SrCaS:Eu phosphor material to convert some of the original light emitted from a light source of the device to a longer wavelength light in order to produce the desired output light. The green-emitting Thiogallate phosphor material includes at least one of CaGa2S4:Ce phosphor and BaGa4S7:Eu phosphor. The device and method can be used to produce white light or other mixed color light using the light source, which may be a blue-green light emitting diode (LED) die.

Abstract: A device and method for emitting output light utilizes Group IIB element Selenide-based phosphor material to convert some of the original light emitted s from a light source of the device to a longer wavelength light to change the optical spectrum the output light. Thus, the device and method can be used to produce white color light. The Group IIB element Selenide-based phosphor material is included in a wavelength-shifting region optically coupled to the light source, which may be a blue-green light emitting diode (LED) die.

Abstract: A device and method for emitting output light utilizes a mixture of Group IIB element Selenide-based phosphor material and Group IIA element Gallium Sulfide-based phosphor material in which the Group IIA element includes Calcium, Strontium and/or Barium to convert some of the original light emitted from a light source of the device to longer wavelength light to change the optical spectrum the output light. Thus, the device and method can be used to produce white color light. The mixture of Group IIB element Selenide-based and Group IIA element Gallium Sulfide-based phosphor materials is included in a wavelength-shifting region optically coupled to the light source, which may be a blue light emitting diode (LED) die.
